Upcoming Luncheons & Special Events

We thought you could use a friendly reminder that December is literally right around the corner & we hope you come visit us this holiday season!

We will soon be erecting Christmas trees as many of you will be doing the same. The tearoom is always decorated so warmly this time of the year. If you haven’t been to a luncheon when our holiday decor is glowing, you are missing out!

In addition to our regular luncheons for December, Willow Raven Readings will be offering something NEW at the tearoom!! On Friday, December 6 & Sunday, December 8 Half Hour Individual Psychic Readings will be available from 9 AM – 3 PM.

We are accepting Reservations NOW for the Half Hour Individual Psychic Readings in December! These readings can be a great gift to yourself or for a loved one or friend!! Call Tina at 515-707-9621 to reserve your spot(s) today!

Season of Gratitude

As we move into the Season of Gratitude, we wanted to pop on to say thank you for your continued support! Running the tearoom, these last few years has had its challenges. Without your support, we may not have been able to stay open. We’re looking forward to continuing welcoming familiar faces as well as new ones. If there’s ever anything that you would like to see us do different or try, we’d love to hear from you!

We received positive feedback on our 2024 Luncheon Calendar, which provided available tea dates throughout the entire year. This was new to us this year & it seemed to help many of our guests make reservations in advance. We will continue the Luncheon Calendar for 2025. It is in the works now!

In addition to our Spirit Tea on Saturday, November 23rd (sold out), we will have the available luncheon dates listed below for the month of November. Luncheons are by Reservation Only. See an upcoming date that works for you? Call Tina at (515) 707-9621 with your inquiry!

May Showers Bring June Flowers

Am I wrong or can we continue the rain theme and say, ‘May Showers Bring June Flowers’? Although we treasure the needed moisture, our hearts go out to everyone that has been tragically affected this spring season by floods, damaging winds &/or tornadoes that have crossed through the Midwest. Perhaps June will give us a break!
 
We are offering 4 luncheons during the month of June, so if you are needing a break or a change of scenery, please join us for a relaxing & memorable time with your closest loved ones.
